You could delete or disconnect ways that were in a route relation without iD complaining, or warning you that you were going to break a relation. That changed. Now, in that situation, iD does an impression of HAL in the film 2001: "I can't let you do that, Dave." Tricking iD into letting you do it is even harder than tricking HAL was. If you do manage to do it, you'll have some route repairs to do afterwards, but that's going to be the case with any editor if you break a way to insert a roundabout. I don't know if iD catches every possible way you could accidentally break a relation. But I don't know if any of the other editors do that either. I doubt their authors would guarantee that they could never accidentally break a relation (in fact, I hope none of those authors would make such a claim, because it's impossible to be sure). I have had some that were broken by the additions of turn restrictions. > Never bothered > to find out what they did, just fixed them and got on with life.

It no longer is, at least not for common ways of accidentally breaking a relation (where "common" is defined as "stuff I do or have done recently"). -- Paul
